It's not ex post facto because it wouldn't make your prior possession illegal.

Ex post facto applies when the government makes a law that what you did in the past is now illegal. In order to not be ex post facto the prohibited conduct occurs after the passage of the law.

If the prohibited conduct occured before the passage of the law then it is ex post facto.
